Greetings, TOD!
Thank you, Nerdy.
Congratulations to President Obama, Michelle, Steve Bogna, Julia and Jeff Reichert on American Factory winning the Academy Award last night!
Praying for Julia Reicherts on her battle with cancer.
Thrilled for everyone associated with American Factory! Do you think there was a message for #AgentOrange in the 4 Oscars won by Parasite? Watching their shock and amazement was a highlight, although their film turned into too much of a horror movie for my tastes. I am a wimp!
Eh Xi would never tell him anything but what he’d believe.
e.g. Xi, Jung-un, Maduro, Assad, Nikurunziza, Déby, Kagame, Mbasogo, Erdogan walk on watet under cover of night.
Can’t even trust the Pentagon to tell us the truth. Ugh!
U.S. officials tell Reuters that more than 100 U.S. service members have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury from the Iran strike on the base in Iraq. Previously the U.S. military had said 64 had been diagnosed.
Your vote is critical to electing the candidate who will beat Donald Trump, help Democrats win up and down the ballot, and restore the soul of this nation.
I read that in Iowa, quite a few Democrats did not pick Joe Biden because of the Hunter Biden thing. They thought there must be something to it, so they preferred Sanders or Buttigeg. Mud sticks even when it’s totally fabricated. I am fearful for the final nominee.
BROKEN PROMISE: "I'm not going to cut Social Security like every other Republican, and I'm not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid."
REALITY: Trump's budget proposal slashes Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act by OVER $1 TRILLION—on top of cuts to Medicare and Social Security. pic.twitter.com/Jc9Hrnn1Cq
“A spokesperson for AWS (Amazon Web Services) told CNBC in a statement:
“President Trump has repeatedly demonstrated his willingness to use his position as President and Commander in Chief to interfere with government functions — including federal procurements — to advance his personal agenda. The preservation of public confidence in the nation’s procurement process requires discovery and supplementation of the administrative record, particularly in light of President Trump’s order to ‘screw Amazon.’ The question is whether the President of the United States should be allowed to use the budget of the DoD
to pursue his own personal and political ends.”
Benen’s October backstory:
(http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/following-trumps-intervention-amazon-sues-over-dod-contract)
—Now Amazon wants to depose Trump the cheapo little dictator in the WH.
Devestating. I was told to have this exact conversation with my son when he was barely 8. It traumatized him to the point of him having nightmares about panicking and not listening to the police because of his ADHD and getting shot. Somehow, some way America must address this
One week after the President paid lip service to protecting the health care of American families, his budget betrays his values with cruel cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. Vulnerable families and seniors deserve better.
What would happen if "Tweety" did not air Trump's racist comments at rallies on his show..do we really need to hear the racist vitriol that comes out of his mouth. don't they know that Trump counts on the MSM to spread his hate filled message..seems like the MSM is glad to do it
Yes, so grateful to Rachel. Also Nicolle Wallace doesn’t either. I saw a tweet this afternoon asking: Is it just me or is MSNBC purposely sabotaging Biden’s campaign? Nearly every response said “Yes.” I’ve started listening a lot more to Dean Obeidellah and really enjoy him. Listening to him right now. 🙂
MSNBC actually started bashing Biden before he got in the race. It seems that Mika and Joe has Buttigieg on every other day and after every debate. He is definitely a media darling.
Totally agree. Another thing I noticed tonight. One of the MSNBC contributors (forget her name) said something like … Well, after we get through Iowa and New Hampshire, and then Nevada and South Carolina, we’ll need to wait for Super Tuesday to see who the real frontrunner is …
… totally discounting the fact that the two states after the first two might actually have MORE FREAKIN’ DIVERSITY IN THE VOTER POOL, not be 95% white in their totals, and might actually consider people who are known in minority communities as actually caring about their interests, instead of faking that part.
I thought this was the DEMOCRATIC primary. It’s getting more like crazytown every day, and we must get our acts together to win against trump.
When I was an elementary teacher and would have a disruptive student it was totally necessary to ignore the student at the point in time when the behavior was used to seek attention. Of course with a child it was also necessary to find other opportunities to give them attention which usually came from lack of confidence and lack of modeling for positive behaviors. It was necessary to look for appropriate behaviors to reward with attention besides ignoring improper behaviors. It is possible to shape a child’s behaviors.
Trump is in his seventies and far beyond having his behaviors shaped. He has had a lifetime of using manipulative improper behaviors and having been rewarded with attention. I say the media should quit interviewing him since he only lies anyway. Do research on his actions and present that rather than giving him a platform to turn his attention seeking improper behavior into a winning formula.
This is my fear. My D and son-in-law think Bernie is the best for the D party. She doesn’t consider herself a Democrat and she thinks I’m too loyal to the party. I’ve tried to tell her about him based on what I learned 4 years ago, but she says that’s old stuff. She thinks gov’t has to be blown up in order to work again, smh. She doesn’t understand, so…. The good news is they both hate Trump with a passion and will vote for the Dem. nominee for sure. I’m just so discouraged that they like Sanders.
Ask them what will happened to those folks along the margins…if the government blows up…some folks have such a romantic vibe about this….they do not think about what it actually means
So true but I’m not good on my feet and sometimes I’m overwhelmed with emotion that just stops me from thinking of good answers but I haven’t given up yet.
Recommend checking out the interview, if you missed it. It was like sitting down at the kitchen table, with a rational friend who understands life in America in 2020. No glitz. No lies.
Totally cheating and posting my alternate list too… X-Files, L Word:Generation Q (and original), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vicar of Dibley, amd Good Place.
Mine are: 1)West Wing 2) So You Think You Can Dance 3) The Bachelor/Bachelorette 4) Project Runway 5) American Idol
What do I mainly watch since 2008? MSNBC Politics 1) Rachel 2) Lawrence 3) Ari 4) Nicole Wallace
5) Chris Hayes
I don’t like to admit I like reality shows, but I am picky other than the Bachelor franchise. Mostly I like shows where people are trying to break into a career area. All of us on TOD seem to have the common interest of politics too.
The Voice is another one where people are trying to “make it.” I like those reality shows too. Your ranking of the MSNBC shows are same as mine. But, as I mentioned above, currently I am upset and disappointed with most of them because of what they are doing to Uncle Joe.
I watch The Voice too, but had to choose only five.
I am afraid all the 24/7 news outlets are into the ratings measurement game. They try to create controversy to get a bigger audience. No clear cut winner spreads the current audience interest further. In reality I think it creates an uncomfortable “What’s the use!” attitude. The networks pretty much gave Trump the election by broadcasting almost all his rallies. Trump was an oddity reminding me of Archie in “All in the Family”. Archie was a verbally abusive cranky old bigot. Instead of abhorring his behavior America came to love him. Not me, I was demoralized that behavior was accepted.
Joe was never much of a campaigner. He always showed his experience and caring when speaking though. We have firsthand knowledge of who he is with his eight years in the administration and his years as a Senator. I am afraid the stupid Ukraine story has damaged his chances in many people’s mind. Hunter seemed to be the opposite of Beau and made poor choices. Most everyone on our side is very afraid of Trump getting a second term. I think Joe’s handlers are making a mistake by remaking Joe into an angry old man erasing his kindness and replacing it with a barking mad dog quality. No matter whom we choose Trump and his crime syndicate will damage their election chances.
Good morning from east Tennessee where we STILL have rain and flooding. Schools closed (again) which means our food pantry is also closed. I worry about our clients who need us. 😦
I’m enthusiastic about Bloomberg but he’d be better than Trump.
Joe Biden was the Democratic frontrunner for months because he was perceived as the candidate most laser-focused on stopping Donald Trump. Now Bloomberg is running an intense messaging campaign that is focused on stopping Trump, and that's why he's rising in the polls.
also…between the attacks on Biden by Trump…implying corruption…and now the Barr plans to conduct his own investigation from info that Giuliani got from Ukraine operatives…….Biden is taking a hit
also the media is doing to Biden what they did to Kamala Harris
also ..as with Hillary many white folks have trouble with a white candidate who stands too close to black folks…
I can’t wait to see what Nevada…SC…and Super Tuesday brings…
but for the Record… I will not be voting for Sanders or Bloomberg if either of them are the nominee…
My preference is Biden or Warren but I’ll vote for the nominee because Trump has hurt too many people and will be worse if he is re-elected. But I respect your opinion. Let’s hope the best candidate wins.
None of the remaining Democratic candidates is perfect. They all have flaws. Let's please run one who is not a Useful Idiot for Putin, though, okay?https://t.co/1z30aJzlBC
I was never much of a fan of his but thumbs up to this.

Total proposed cuts amount to $1.1 Trillion which is the same amount DJT & GOP doled out to the top 1%. So, people, we are witnessing a massive wealth transfer from 99% to 1% ; a day time robbery and no cops to catch the thieves because the cops (aka GOP Senate) colluding.
Mueller did not indict Trump….
and now the courts say they have NO Authority to make Trump obey the law….
i certainly wish Pres Obama had felt the same way…that he could do anything he chose to…
So he is not keeping with established law and the court rejects the suit – what is the recourse? … Court rejects lawsuit over Trump’s recordkeeping https://t.co/4yhlxOcGDm via @politico
Everyone in America should be paying attention to this. The ancestries of our Native American communities are being torn apart by this administration, all for a pointless border wall. This is an outrage. https://t.co/6brrpSuQgX
I would urge everyone to stop watching the polling and news until Nevada Caucas and than South Carolina votes because some of you guys who i follow who know better seem to be panicking. Let the media have their fun they are so wrong because this will all be sorted out soon enough
I so agree! Have stopped listening to MSNBC at all during the day…..until 4:00 with Nicolle. I listen to Progressive Radio (127 on Siruis). Or, the early morning, I listen to Joe Madison, the Black Eagle, out of DC.
I decided last week during the Iowa caucus to take a hiatus from all of the shows except Rachel. At least she discusses pertinent events. I can’t stand those airings live from these coffee shops with folks sitting around. When PBO was running, I did the same. The media never learn. I blame them for the election of Donald Trump; they aired all of his disgusting rallies.
This is what the GOP Senate has unleashed on Americans…An escalation in the agenda of White Nationalism and racism…it starts with the Immigrant Community…but it will not end there…No community is safe
Here they come

Doom’s 2021 budget: Magic dirty tricks and the disappearing of….
Science and Research:
“National Institutes of Health: a cut of 7%, or $2.942 billion, to $36.965 billion
National Science Foundation (NSF): a cut of 6%, or $424 million, to $6.328 billion
Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Science: a cut of 17%, or $1.164 billion, to $5.760 billion
NASA science: a cut of 11%, or $758 million, to $6.261 billion
DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy: a cut of 173%, which would not only eliminate the $425 million agency, but also force it to return $311 million to the U.S. Department of the Treasury
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Agricultural Research Service: a cut of 12%, or $190 million, to $1.435 billion
National Institute of Standards and Technology: a cut of 19%, or $154 million, to $653 million
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: a cut of 31%, or $300 million, to $678 million
Environmental Protection Agency science and technology: a cut of 37%, or $174 million, to $318 million
Department of Homeland Security science and technology: a cut of 15%, or $65 million, to $357 million
U.S. Geological Survey: a cut of 30%, or $200 million, to $460 million”

Republicans are busy dooming Humanity and all Life on earth,
while Trump is texting and Barr is criming. This budget is Exhibit A in their war against science, the raping of the planet and exploitation of its inhabitants…and a more ignorant, less tolerant America.
DAMN! READ THE DATELINE! THIS IS FROM JANUARY 2019! trump does enough terrible things on a daily basis, therefore, we have no need to chase year old actions and articles down the rabbit hole. Concentration on the devastating cuts to humanity in the budget that dropped yesterday!
Senator Angus King on Chris Hayes:
“A concentration of power in one set of hands is dangerous…
Last week we said a president can basically stonewall Congress entirely in an impeachment proceeding,
which essentially renders the impeachment clause a nulitty – it just eviscerates it….
Power is migrating from Congress to the president, and last week it didn’t migrate – it leapt…
presidents aren’t grabbing the power, Congress is abdicating it.”
Video: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7PeOcEhsGw)
BARR = Crime boss and key to American dictatorship.
Besides stating he will now accept private citizen Giuliani’s fabricated ‘info’ from Ukraine,
(for which Giuliani is being investigated, and for which Trump was impeached):
“Attorney General William Barr has further cemented his boss’ monarchical powers.
Last Wednesday, Barr issued a mandate that no presidential candidates, their campaigns or senior staff are to be investigated without his personal approval. As a practical matter this means that Donald Trump is free to break the law at will — and that the Democratic Party’s candidates will be subjected to frivolous investigations and other forms of harassment.
Trump’s Republican servants have also promised to expunge his impeachment if and when they regain control of the House of Representatives in the future.”

Thirty years on, I remember the hope we all felt watching Mandela’s release from prison. The gift of a new way of seeing. The chance to participate in the work of building a better world. The ultimate example of perseverance and faith for each new generation to follow.
Why would you do this unless you had something nefarious in mind?
Senate Republicans blocked an effort by Democrats to unanimously pass three election security-related bills. Sen. Marsha Blackburn opposed each of the requests.https://t.co/dM0gdy2nEf
If I had more time, I would have talked about the high school student in Brooklyn who dropped out because police would shoe up at school & frisk students. Or a young man I know who has a trauma response when he sees police officers. #StopandFrisk undermined public safety. https://t.co/V6SzbbPjJ5
– Loses New Hampshire Republican primary vote in Dixville Notch – Tweets “short ball (very) hitter” – Those words don’t even go together – Still doesn’t get that he’s the punchline of Larry David video – Trump is going to prison – It’s still only 2pm
My mom saw this headline yesterday and said “Don Jr. is trying to be Baby Doc because Trump is Duvalier”. She’s from Haiti 🇭🇹 & lived thru a dictatorship. Y’all had better start listening to folks like her & so many others who have been sounding the alarm since 2015. https://t.co/NyXD8zg6om
As the authoritarian within starts to boil over, Trump is now attacking the ongoing work of federal prosecutors. The end goal is a world in which Trump associates, donors, key supporters and customers are free to commit crimes and those who challenge them are jailed or executed. https://t.co/sNSXe72eep
Trump thugs throw around goofy words like "sedition" that have no place in a republic and Republican Senators take retaliation against whistleblowers and congressional witnesses to new depths while also investigating one of Trump's political rivals.
Remember this when you vote if you are a Republican or if you a Dem but your first choice for president doesn't win the nomination! https://t.co/wrTMmS6q5i

i soooo Loved Hair Love..
Thanks, Sheila. Sent it to my Granddaughter who was having serious hair identity issues…
ohhhh i hope this brings a smile to her face
Love President Obama and Michelle Obama.
Prettiest Oscar dress was worn by the lovely and talented Regina King!
I didn’t watch the oscars, but I did see a picture of Regina King from the red carpet. I agree, she and that dress was gorgeous.
Because Xi told him. It must be true.
Eh Xi would never tell him anything but what he’d believe.
e.g. Xi, Jung-un, Maduro, Assad, Nikurunziza, Déby, Kagame, Mbasogo, Erdogan walk on watet under cover of night.

When I was an elementary teacher and would have a disruptive student it was totally necessary to ignore the student at the point in time when the behavior was used to seek attention. Of course with a child it was also necessary to find other opportunities to give them attention which usually came from lack of confidence and lack of modeling for positive behaviors.

This is insane!! I am sure this budget negatively affects the majority of Trumps supporters.
JUST keeping us all on the SAME PAGE – – Eyes on the ball – – a dead potted plant instead, would be just fine, thank you.

If Sanders wins the nomination…it will spell the end of the Democratic Party

Where is the cash from these funding cuts to Science and the Humanities going?
Something beautiful, in case you need it
FIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTT ON!!!!!
Senator Angus King on Chris Hayes:
“A concentration of power in one set of hands is dangerous…
Last week we said a president can basically stonewall Congress entirely in an impeachment proceeding,
which essentially renders the impeachment clause a nulitty – it just eviscerates it….
Power is migrating from Congress to the president, and last week it didn’t migrate – it leapt…
presidents aren’t grabbing the power, Congress is abdicating it.”

Elections matter
BARR = Crime boss and key to American dictatorship.
Besides stating he will now accept private citizen Giuliani’s fabricated ‘info’ from Ukraine,
(for which Giuliani is being investigated, and for which Trump was impeached):
“Attorney General William Barr has further cemented his boss’ monarchical powers.
Last Wednesday, Barr issued a mandate that no presidential candidates, their campaigns or senior staff are to be investigated without his personal approval. As a practical matter this means that Donald Trump is free to break the law at will — and that the Democratic Party’s candidates will be subjected to frivolous investigations and other forms of harassment.
Trump’s Republican servants have also promised to expunge his impeachment if and when they regain control of the House of Representatives in the future.”

Little Russia = Kremlin plans.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin is making plans
for “the five permanent members of the UN Security Council—
the U.S., China, Russia, Britain and France—
to start convening together”
…Egorchenkov stating that the initiative is “‘ingenious’
since this move
would allow
Trump to
NORMALIZE RELATIONS
with Russia
under the guise of pursuing
world peace.”

“(Trump) has destroyed the Republican Party from within and left no natural successor
which will also work in Russia’s favor,
while also predicting
“Trump might start to engage in McCarthyism,
which will be the first step in the self-destruction of the American system.”
